Which potential disorders would the nurse associate with the jerking movement of a patients eye when looking to the left?

migraine

Unilateral headache proceeded by nausea, vomiting, and photophobia are the clinical manifestations of migraine. Prescribers use drugs like corticosteroids in the treatment of migraine headaches. Therefore the nurse anticipates that the patient has a migraine. Paralysis of the limbs, blurred vision, tinnitus, and ataxia are the clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis. Stabbing headache, swelling around the eye, nasal congestion, and flushing or pallor are the clinical manifestations of cluster headache. The manifestations of Parkinson's disease are rigidity, tremors, and bradykinesia.

generalised seizures

In a generalized, or grand mal, seizure, the patient may experience incontinence along with jerking, or tonic-clonic, movements of the entire body. An aura is an individualized, subjective auditory, visual, olfactory, or taste hallucination that may precede a seizure. Postictal is the period of recovery after a seizure and may include confusion and sedation. Potentially isolated to one side of the brain, a simple partial seizure remains partial or focal in nature, or it may spread to involve the entire brain, culminating in a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Simple partial seizures generally do not involve loss of consciousness and rarely last more than one minute.

Which seizure activity would the nurse associate with a patient's jerky muscle movement?

Clonic seizures cause repeated jerking movements of muscles on both sides of the body.

What type of seizure causes a person to lose consciousness fall stiffen and jerk?

Tonic-Clonic (Grand-Mal) Seizure This seizure causes you to lose consciousness and often collapse. Your body becomes stiff during what's called the "tonic" phase. During the "clonic" phase, muscle contractions cause your body to jerk.

What is the jerking of the limbs phase called in a seizure?

Clonic seizures are characterized by repeated jerking movements of the arms and legs on one or both sides of the body, sometimes with numbness or tingling. If it is a focal (partial) seizure, the person may be aware of what's happening.

Which seizure type would the nurse associate with a generalized seizure?

Generalized onset seizures: These seizures affect both sides of the brain or groups of cells on both sides of the brain at the same time. This term was used before and still includes seizures types like tonic-clonic, absence, or atonic to name a few.
